PLUG AND GO
Charging the Ampera battery is simple.
Just plug one end of the charge cable into
the charge port on the passenger side
front wing, and the other into a 240-volt
socket on a separate circuit* or the
accessory home charge station**, and you
can charge the vehicle at home. Or if
you’re out and about you can plug in at a
suitably equipped public charge station
using a Mode 3 charge cable
††
.
To make sure charging goes without a hitch, the Ampera’s
charge cable is fitted with LED status indicators. If all the
lights are green you know it’s safe to go ahead and charge
the Ampera. If any flash red, due to voltage or other
electrical outlet faults, the car won’t charge. In the cabin, a
light mounted on the facia just inside the windscreen shows
the charge status.
